Who knows ... What I find curious is how Tito fought with a cracked skull ?!?!? How so many fighters hide injuries and then tell you about them afterwards and the AC does nothing is what boggles me ...

BENDOver 209 Top Team #2 -
watching Benson dismantle Nate last night was fucking brutal for me.... but fuck anyone who wants a win for Nate based on that shit

Ben won

yeah to echo my original post sentiment, i 100% think nothing should come of this. it would be stupid if it did. I merely wanted to talk about the potential of something stupid happening from a commission

What do the nerds say when diaz or someone gets busted?? 'Weed may not be a ped, but he knew it was not allowed and still did it. Got what he deserved imo (when they announce no contest and 1 yr suspension).'

All jokes aside the commission should do something about it. Having that toothpick is a danger to both fighters and should not be allowed under any circumstances. People have gotten in trouble for much lesser offenses. I like Bendo but that is just plain stupid if he actually brought that thing in and had it during the fight.

NotImpressedByYourScreenName - Well it's a sharp, wooden instrument, not dissimilar in shape to a baseball bat or a knife. If they let this slide and someone smuggles a numchuck down their cup or a razor in their mouth and uses it against their opponent, what then??

Rules are rules, Nick gets a 12m ban for THC metabolites, Benson should get DQ'd and stripped for taking a weapon into the cage. Ok he didn't use it to hit Nate but he freely admits it assists him in training / fighting so it is by definition a PED.

The toothpick was obviously not your garden variety one but a rotation pick painted to look like wood or how else would it not crumble and splinter during the fight?

Further, the device was a danger to Bengo himself as he could easily have chocked on it, making it a PED that was a danger to both fighters.

Looks like we have a new LW champ folks. Congrats to Nate Diaz for being the first fighter ever to win a title by 5 Rd beat down.

It's obvious Nate took a beating deliberately for 5 Rds to prolong the footage and ensure Benson was caught in the act on film so as to prevent this dangerous and illegal tactic being perpetrated in future.

It's also obvious that Nate avoided punching Bendo in the face for fear of causing permanent injury to Bendo or to his hands - how else can you logically explain his lack of striking??
